Abstract: A packaging system that is both efficient and cost effective, while still performing the necessary tasks at hand. The compartmentalized pallet cover extends the shipping life of fresh picked fruits and vegetables, lengthening the maximum shipping time and extending the maximum shipping distance within which fresh produce may be delivered. This shipping product and method makes it possible to realize higher profit margins by reaching markets which are located a significant distance from the point of origin, while minimizing shipping costs.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for producing vignettes includes the use of a rotary printing member having an outer surface with a series of elongated printing dots. The lengthwise dimension of the dots extends substantially in the machine direction of the printing press, i.e., in a direction perpendicular to the axis of rotation of the printing member. For producing vignettes, the dots increase in density in a direction parallel to the linear direction and have a width which is substantially less than the length. For process printing operations, each color of the process printing is laid down by a series of dots extending substantially in the machine direction, although the screen angles of each series of dots may vary.
